Baby Glacier is small glacier located in Bridger-Teton National Forest, in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The glacier is immediately west of the much larger Mammoth Glacier, both of which are on the west side of the Continental Divide in the northern Wind River Range. The glacier occupies a north facing cirque and flows northward.
